Samenvatting

Recent developments provide new components holding the potential to improve the performance of liquid scintillation electron antineutrino detectors used as nuclear reactors monitors. Current systems raise issues regarding size, quantum efficiency, stability, and spatial resolution of the vertex detection. For compact detectors (1 m3 active volume) improving these issues is possible by developing stable and efficient boron or lithium containing NCA. In addition, advances in fluorescence detection technologies and optimization of solvent characteristics can improve the overall efficiency. Focus points of material design are to enable a compact, robust, and direction sensitive detector.
